What better opportunity to take some time for yourself and learn a new language, how to decorate a cake with panache or even figure out your iPhone or iPad?

Join us as we begin a season filled with discovery. To quote a recent visitor and student, “SFCC is a special gem in Santa Fe. I hope everyone who lives here appreciates how lucky they are to have such a terrific resource.”

See you in the classroom or almost anywhere in New Mexico on one of our Southwest Explorations,
